The New York Mets have made several roster moves, including recalling Mark Vientos and designating Joey Wendle for assignment. Vientos and Brett Baty are expected to see time at third base. The Mets are looking to address their struggling offense by making these changes.
Mark Vientos' first at-bat back in the big leagues: an RBI double. https://t.co/mtzqMfQGa2
Carlos Mendoza says the lefties they're facing coming up made the timing right to recall Mark Vientos, discusses the decision to DFA Joey Wendle, send down Jose Butto & says Drew Smith suffered a setback after playing catch yesterday #Mets https://t.co/BX3q60i5z5
With Joey Wendle DFA'd, the Mets' emergency backup middle infielder is Brett Baty. The team plans to roll with Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil on an every-inning basis for now. Of note, veteran Jose Iglesias is still at Syracuse and could always come up in a pinch.
With the Mets lacking middle infield depth following Joey Wendle’s DFA Brett Baty will receive pregame work at second base and shortstop.

In hopes of helping their struggling lineup the New York Mets are calling up Mark Vientos, while cutting their only backup middle infielder. Our @FinkelsteinRyan on the situation with the Mets offense as Vientos comes up: https://t.co/elBn04IoZR
Mark Vientos batting fifth tonight and starting at third base for the Mets.
Never understood the Wendle signing but credit to Stearns for admitting a mistake via DFA. Recognized the need to try to spark offense with Vientos, even it's not a perfect roster fit. Leaves the Mets without a backup SS but Iglesias is only a day away in case of Lindor injury.

Carlos Mendoza resorting to whack-a-mole approach for lineup malaise lately, but #Mets are going to need more than just Vientos call-up to resuscitate failing offense. "You just got to take care of business," Francisco Lindor said. https://t.co/xO4EYRSLDN via @Newsday
Mets kept Zack Short and Joey Wendle over Mark Vientos out of spring training and for 1/4 of the season. Gross.

Former #Rays All-Star Wendle to be dropped by #Mets, per report https://t.co/aEF32uTU3t
Mets have to try something so the Vientos call-up worth a shot. Face lefty Suarez tomorrow. There's just no sign Baty will get over the hump - 5 xbh and the underlying numbers, exit velo, hard-hit rate, are very bad. Have to give Vientos some run at 3B and hope the D is adequate.

A flurry of roster moves, including the returns of both Mark Vientos and of course the Churve, are incoming for the Mets: https://t.co/GYL1I9d72P
Mets' thought process on recalling Vientos is they will be running into LHP on the road trip (starting tomorrow night with Ranger Suarez) and see an opportunity for him.
Mark Vientos will meet the Mets in Philadelphia tomorrow, a source confirmed. Brett Baty is not going down. More to come.
The Mets are recalling Mark Vientos and plan for both Vientos and Brett Baty to see time at third base, per sources.

Joey Wendle is just not meant for the Mets. Dude can do no good. It’s a Stearns miss. Move on.
